Claims5
A shoe or similar footwear having holes for a lace to fasten the shoe, the lace having over at least the end portions thereof spaced knobs or protrusions adapted to engage in shaped holes or eyelets carried by the footwear to receive the lace with the knobs or protrusions preventing the lace moving through the hole, characterized in that each protrusion on the lace has a resilient lip surrounding that portion of the lace connecting each protrusion, whereby the lip engages around the hole so that the lace is resiliently held even though the tension of the lace varies during flexing of the shoe.
